Neither made mention of their indiscretions as they appeared on TV.

Mr Marr, 53, was photographed kissing and slipping his hand inside the jeans of a mystery woman outside a bar in Soho, London.

Meanwhile, Mr Murnaghan, 54, had been pictured sharing a kiss with a make-up artist 23 years his junior in Hyde Park.

Married Mr Marr had previously taken out a legal injunction to prevent the press reporting the fact that he had an affair with a female journalist in 2003, on the grounds that he believed, incorrectly, that he had fathered her child. His latest alleged indiscretion was caught on camera outside The Bar, in Hanway Street, on Saturday. The pictures appeared the Sunday Mirror.

Mr Marr, who has been married to Guardian journalist Jackie Ashley for 25 years, said: ‘It was an innocent goodbye to my series producer.’

The father-of-three said he could not remember putting his hand down the woman’s jeans.

After his BBC show, he returned home to Richmond, west London, but left in a taxi half hour later clutching a small suitcase.

His wife did not speak to reporters as she left the house with a female friend soon after.

Meanwhile, pictures of Sky News anchorman Mr Murnaghan kissing single Camilla Tew, 31, last week appeared in The People yesterday.

The host of the BBC2 Eggheads quiz show has been married to wife Maria for 23 years and they have four children. A spokesman for Sky said: ‘We do not comment on the personal lives of presenters. Dermot will not be commenting either.’
